About US

the place where your pet will be treated like family

Countryside Veterinary Hospital has been helping our four legged friends since opening in 1985. Our doctors have over 25 years of combined experience, so you can be sure that your pet will receive the best care possible. At Countryside, our doctors and staff want to make the experience as easy as possible for both you and your four-legged family member. That starts with staff that will be there to assist you every step of the way. Even our building is designed to be comfortable for your pet. We always encourage you to stop by for a "happy visit" and a tour to reduce your pet's anxiety while visiting us.
We speak Spanish, too! If you are more comfortable learning about your pet's needs in Spanish, please don't hesitate to ask.
Hablamos español. Si quieres informacion de tu mascota en español, por favor nos preguntan.

Testimonials

Dr. Hofler and her staff are extremely professional and personable especially when it counts…. We love Countryside, highly recommend their many services.

he entire staff here from the receptionists to the Doctors are always professional, caring and helpful! I would highly recommend this office to anyone who has a pet, especially any of you out there with pets with special needs.

We recently had to board our cats for 10 days at their facility. We had never done this before and were kind of concerned about how they would do. Needless to say they were well taken care of and all went well. Highly recommend this vet practice.
